Humble Beginnings
« on: Oct 11, 2009, 03:49:02 PM »
Here is my 84.  It has a 4" susp lift, 3" BL, 35" boggers...pretty much stock after that.

I just ordered an IFS box mount from Marlin so that should be here this week.  When that gets here I have hi steer, hydro assist, lock rite for the front and a welded ifs rear to put in.



I will get some more pics as I am installing all of the parts.

Making room for the new front axle, already have the crossover steering on the new axle, just need to mount the IFS box and plumb the assist lines.

Looks like a great start!  Pretty clean truck. The first thing i would do before installing the steering box would be to remove that 3" body lift :yikes:.  body lifts arent ever really necessary on toyotas unless you are doing an engine swap and you need the hood clearance. If you like it thats cool! but eventually if you start to wheel it hard you will not want your truck to be so tall!

Yeah, I am thinking about taking the BL off.  I replaced the springs with a set of Marlin Units and it lifted it about 2 inches over what was in there.  I want to see it outside and get an idea on clearances.  I really don't want to hog the fenders out yet but if I have to I guess I have to.

Well, I turned the wheels lock to lock and attempted to flex it out.  I think that the bl will be coming off this weekend.  With just some minor trimming it should be good.  I think that the bed bob and dovetail will be happening shortly as well.

Well, got the new wheels and tires on.  Hydro assist is on with the high steer.  Truck is leaving to get the bumpers made, sliders made and the rear is getting linked with air shocks.

Here are a few pics before it goes up on the trailer.
